I've been looking for a de-cat for my little engine; but no supprises there arent any and the "sports" cats are stupid money. However i have got a second hand cat emptied it out and the performance and fuel consumption have jumped; just went to the isle of man and on the way there i did about 400 miles to a tank. Top speed has increased; I know that there are a few people here that have a 1ltr it only cost me £5.80 for the cat from a garage plus the fitting; so a cheap performance up grade!

The cat on a 1ltr is on the down pipe from the manafold, and will both the cat and mid box removed still create enough back pressure?

good god no... down hill i've had mine to 120mph (with de cat) 112 with cat i know the 1ltr is high geared and thus 0-60 is soooooo slow but the 1.2 16V is supposed to be 13secs quite a bit faster
